Ideas of q Professor of Music

The ideal church music is that where So
10 and congregational singing are COM
bined, but if there is choice between the
two, prefer the former. In solo quar-
tet there may not be the volume Of sound
and that peculiar fullnes which chorus,
even of unframed voices, produces, but
at the same time the results are more har-
monious than congreg ational singing.
Four trained voices can make as much
sound as sixteen unframed voices, and be
more pleasant to hear. Without choir
to lead, congregational singing lacks a
great deal of motive that church music
should have in order to be impressive;
with trained quartet, the congregation
can be brought to harmonious methods,
which they naturally catch from those
who lead.
